Christmas is a time filled with love, peace, and celebration. For this time of year when we remember the birth of Jesus, we offer you the most beautiful Bible verses to share with your family.
Biblical Messages
Biblical messages are messages that God has for humanity, especially for his people. In this sense, when referring to such a special time, it is about the messages that God has about the birth of his Only Son. This is a time of joy for Christians, because without his coming it would have been impossible to be saved.
Christmas represents the birth of the Messiah and together with Him a New Covenant between God and man. Many Christian and non-Christian families celebrate Christmas on December 24 and 25 of each year.
750 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, the prophet Isaiah announced that the Messiah would come to the people of Israel.
Isaiah 9:6
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
With all these descriptions, the prophet Isaiah announced the coming of the Son of God into the world to fulfill the most important mission, one that would mark a turning point not only for Israel but for all who recognized Him as Lord and Savior.

At Christmas, most people present a spirit of sadness and melancholy. This is because it represents the birth of the Son of God, who became flesh to give humanity an idea of what kind of being God is.
The birth of Jesus is the central theme and celebration of humanity. There is no other birth that is celebrated worldwide. Demonstrating once again that Jesus Christ is and will forever be the true Son of God.
That's why I'm giving you some Christian Bible messages to reflect on, share, and give away during this special time of year so you can celebrate the birth of the Eternal King.
Christmas messages in the Bible
The Bible in the Old Testament prophesies about the coming of the Lord Jesus, giving hope to all who believe in Him. If at this time of year you feel or know someone who is feeling depressed because they are away from their family, due to a recent painful event, illness, or any other kind of hardship, I invite you to share these biblical messages to encourage them and help them regain their spirit and hope in the Lord.
Luke 2: 10-11
10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all the people:
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
There is no need to fear under any circumstances because Jesus Christ already gave us eternal salvation through his death and resurrection. God will always be with us guarding us and giving us encouragement and strength. Today we can confidently enter the Throne of grace through the blood of Jesus.
Matthew 1: 23
23 Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
And you will call his name Emmanuel, which translated is: God with us.
Christmas allows us to leave behind many things that have hurt us, to forgive, to reconcile, and to give love not only to our loved ones but also to our neighbors. What greater gift is there than to share the biblical messages of love found in God's word about this time of year?
Matthew 1: 21
21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.
The Lord Jesus makes no distinction between people, his salvation is for everyone who confesses that He is the Son of God, who died on the Cross of Calvary and rose on the third day. The Lord came to spread love and salvation and rejoices every time a soul returns to the presence of the Heavenly Father.
If the Lord forgives us our sins, we as Christians and true children of God must also forgive the offenses of others and bring the message of Salvation to everyone who needs it.
Lucas 2: 14
14 Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, good will towards men!
God's will is good and pleasing to men, if this were not the case, his mercy would not be renewed every morning. He also would not have given his Son on the Cross for our Salvation.
Christmas is also a very special moment for the children and young people of each family. See the illusion on their faces when opening gifts, sharing with family and the rich celebration dinner. They are unique moments that remain in our memories.
However, we mustn't forget the true reason for celebration: the good news brought by the birth of our beloved Jesus. That's why I'm sharing these Bible verses for children and young people to help them understand the importance of this day.
Luke 2: 6-7
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days of her delivery were fulfilled.
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
The birth of the King of kings and Lord of lords was simple and without frills but it was the most special day for humanity. From the birth of Jesus, a new relationship and hope is marked for those of us who believe in Him.
Lucas 2: 20
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.
Jehovah is a God who keeps his word is not a God who lies but what he promises he fulfills, what he reveals is given and although some take him for delay, his times are perfect.
That is why all the glory and praise be to the King of kings and even more so remembering his birth. Enjoying and celebrating as a family strengthens ties and allows us to create new memories. However, it is extremely important that we also spread the true meaning of Christmas. Through messages full of love, encouragement, hope, joy, teachings, repentance and unity.
